Loan Repayment Assistance Program

Every year, a number of Marquette University Law School graduates dream of a career serving those who receive inadequate or no legal assistance. But these new lawyers face a significant challenge. It is especially difficult for new law graduates with substantial student loan debt to take lower-paying jobs that would enable them to pursue their chosen career path.

The Law School recognizes that the legal community has a responsibility to help provide services to people who cannot afford representation. Marquette University Law School has created a Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) in the hope that the program may remove an obstacle to graduates interested in a career serving the poor and underserved. Under the program, participating graduates receive an annual grant to pay a percentage of their monthly loan payment.
